If you’re just looking for raw power, the RTX 5090 is a good shout, but let’s be real, you might not need that for your setup. There’s also some headroom to go with a 60 series card if you’re patient and can wait for the right deal.

This is true, but I’ve also heard that the 3600X can handle a lot, and it might be worth waiting.

Exactly! If you can hold off, it could give you some better options down the line.

It really depends on your gaming resolution. If you’re mostly playing at 1080p, you might want to consider upgrading to the 5700X3D and going for something like a 3070. It’d make a big difference in performance!

A lot of folks are saying that RTX 2080s are a great value right now and won’t be too bottlenecked by the 3600. If you’re looking for a solid upgrade without breaking the bank, that’s a solid choice!
